For 2017, NOAA announces seven grant competitions to advance the understanding of Earth’s climate system, and to foster its application for decision making. The program supports research that is conducted across the USA and internationally. NOAA anticipates making about 100 grants, each ranging between US$50 thousand and US$300 thousand per year, with some exceptions for larger awards. For most competitions, the deadline for letters of intent is 24 August 2016. Link
